Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Cavin Johnson has questioned some of the referee’s decisions following their 1-1 draw with AmaZulu.

The Soweto giants moved back into the top of eight on the DStv Premiership table after securing a point at Usuthu on Sunday evening.

Johnson took issue with the referee for a number of issues, including not sending off Abbubaker Mobara who had already been booked after a foul on Pule Mmodi.

“Ja when you think about the game and the first thing you say is who’s the Man of the Match? And it’s the goalkeeper (Veli Mothwa), it shows you how much possession we had,” Johnson told SuperSport after the game.

“I thought we started the game probably not as nice as we would have liked to have but the breakaways we had we should have scored them and we get a goal again against us, I thought it was a free-kick beforehand and my players switched off, which is not normal, he gets a good cross in the box and we give away a cheap goal.

“I think also we (should have) got a penalty along the way after that and he does not give a penalty, he does not give a red card, so there’s a lot that we can take from that.

“The best one for me was towards the end, Ashley should have buried that, Mothwa is on the way. Second time (Christian) Saile comes, kicks the near post and he saves the game. I thought the boys put a big effort and I hope it looked better on TV and I’m sure we came out to win the game (but) we didn’t,” he said.
